Here now recent photos of Drifter 31. All in perfect working order, ready to go sailing. Notice the shallow keel. That is for me the key feature.: It's a stable little keel yacht for coastal sailing, yet it only draws 2 ft., with no moving parts underneath. It can be sailed in shallows, and can be launched and beached like a dinghy. It's not a racehorse, but a sturdy, roomy and dry sailing family boat. It's a real pity there is nothing like it being produced any more, so one has to buy these old boats to avail of these benefits.
